Staying Warm on a Rainy and (almost) Snowy Day

Since last week we have been getting weather forecasts of a terrible storm that was suppose to hit us from Sunday night into Monday. They were talking about snow and rain and sleet and accumulation and every horrible thing you can think of. Then last night they started putting the schools on 2 and 3 hour delays, cancelling meetings, closing facilities, and it hadn't even started raining yet. Today the schools are closed, the government offices are closed, all the colleges are closed, any meeting that was going to be held today is cancelled, and there is not one snowflake on the ground. We did get some rain and it froze to the tree limbs, but even that is gone and it is just raining now. It is cold--in the low 30's, but we always have crappy weather here in South Carolina in January and February. We are in Charleston so since we are closer to the coast we don't usually get snow, and when we do it is usually gone by the afternoon of the day it snows. On the other side of I-95 and from Columbia up they do have more accumulation and worse weather. But as you can see by this picture my husband and pets know how to keep warm. There is ole' Gunney in the front, next to him is Samurai, who is on top of Thumbs. If you look behind Samurai you can see Meiko's ears, and way in the back is Mike. Hope everyone stays warm and safe.
